As an experienced dancer, teacher, performer and choreographer, Alix now has over 23 years combined experience in the industry. As a previous competitive tap dancer, Alix completed her examinations and finished within the top ten tappers in Canada, through the B.A.T.D. syllabus. From there, Alix received a scholarship to attend the International University Global Theatre Experience (I.U.G.T.E) Conference in Carrara, Italy; she was the youngest participant and only Canadian to take part in the artists’ conference. Alix was able to network with various international Artists and creators, while learning and experiencing differences and innovations in the European arts industry. This experience helped Alix gain confidence, to fully dedicate her time to becoming a well-rounded choreographer in all styles. Recently, Alix choreographed and danced in LOCKLYN’s music video “90’s Love”, an upcoming artist from Toronto. Alix has always aspired to help her dancers find their own passion and journey through the arts. She encourages dancers to continue developing their technique, performance, flexibility, personality, and love for their art.
